KIMMEL CULTURAL CAMPUS PRESENTS
RIOTOUS POP CULTURE PODCAST
WHO? WEEKLY
FOR A LIVE STAGE SHOW
WITH HOSTS LINDSEY WEBER & BOBBY FINGER
NOVEMBER 18, 2021
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (October 15, 2021) – The Kimmel Cultural Campus, in association with AEG Presents, presents podcast hosts Lindsey Weber and Bobby Finger at the Kimmel Cultural Campus’ Perelman Theater for a live stage show of their hilarious pop culture podcast Who? Weekly on Thursday, November 18, 2021, at 8:00 p.m.
Lindsey and Bobby will delve into the “Whos” and “Thems” of the pop culture landscape, combining the signature witty celebrity banter of the popular podcast with delightful audio/visual interludes and labyrinthian deep dives. Sources claim the show will feature special guests, fun games, and everything you need to know about celebrities you don’t. Allegedly.
Who? Weekly is the podcast that each week bravely dares to ask (and then, answer) the question on all of our minds: “Who?” Through banter, deep dives, games, and call-ins, hosts Lindsey Weber and Bobby Finger ill-WHO-minate more celebs people aren’t quite sure about. If you’ve ever found yourself waiting in the grocery store checkout line, staring at all the slew of gossip rags and asking yourself, “Who even are these people?!”, then this is the podcast for you.
Who? Weekly began as an occasional newsletter written by friends and pop-culture writers Bobby Finger and Lindsey Weber, before spinning off into the beloved podcast we know today. The podcast first premiered January 18, 2016, and since then has been touted as one of Paste’s “30 best Podcasts of the 2010s” and Variety’s “14 Podcasts You Should be Listening To.” Additionally, the podcast was chosen as one of the best podcasts of 2016 by The New York Times and has been recommended by many publications including Nylon, Vogue, Esquire,and Marie Claire.
Other featured upcoming performances on the Kimmel Cultural Campus include Alan Cumming and Ari Shapiro – Och & Oy! A Considered Cabaret (October 17, 2021, Merriam Theater), Rocky in Concert (November 12-13, 2021, Merriam Theater), and The Princess Bride: An Inconceivable Evening with Cary Elwes (November 13, 2021, Merriam Theater).
